Sample Sunday 18

Sample
Sunday is a weekly posting from my pre-published work in progress Eternal Curse:
Giovanni’s Angel. Each week I will post approximately 100 – 150 words from this
installment of the series. Please visit the
ToiBox to read samples of my other works.

Eternal
Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 5

Mira smiled, leaned in closer to Giovanni, and
answered, “You were not at all what I was expecting to see the first time I
laid eyes on you. I was expecting maybe a pale, skinny man, who looked
malnourished. You’re not that at all.”

“So I guess I disappointed you,” replied
Giovanni.

“On the contrary,” said Mira. “You really are
gray and so much more than I could have imagined.” She continued in a slightly
flirtatious tone, “You’re not like any person I’ve ever seen, and I definitely
don’t think you’re the monster you imagine or describe yourself to be.”

Giovanni tilted his head down and scooted a
little bit away from Mira. “You’ve only been here one day,” he said with a
sigh. “You have plenty of time to change your mind. You have not yet seen the
monster I can be.”
